Diaper meltdowns

Does anyone else's toddler have an absolute meltdown when it's time to change their diaper? My little guy 3/5 times will scream, cry, roll, kick, do everything to keep from having his diaper changed. It's not as if he had any rash that's painful or any visible wounds on his back. It's literally become a two person job. I've tried bribing him with chocolate (I'm desperate, don't judge), distracting him with toys, silly noises, songs, NOTHING works. Any advice would be appreciated.

We are in same phase. I think it's due to weather. She complains it's cold. I guess she is avoiding wipes

Same here I think it’s just an age thing and not wanting to stay still. I also bribe with chocolate sometimes 😆

same. i think it’s because she knows she can deny and try anything to just keep being able to run around freely. sometimes my daughter will understand that we want to change her and will cooperate and even say she has gone poop. just try to prepare your little like 10min before hand that you’re going to change their diaper soon and ask where they would prefer to have it changed either on the floor or on a high surface. we usually change our girl up high so she can’t get up and run away

Yup. Same.

Yes, I try to provide a toy or safe object for distraction.

Yup! And will often sob when it's done 🫠

Yup same here

The wipes I bought caused burning. He did that for months and I never knew

Yes unless she watches baby shark.. now sometimes she says she’s poopy and need baby shark even when she isn’t because she wants to watch it

We struggle too! It kind of helps when I distract him with a question. Like, Can you count to 10 with me? Or, can you sing wheels on the bus??
